Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the Senate vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act:

“In rare but horrific cases, babies survive attempts on their life by abortion providers. When this occurs, morality and humanity demand the baby be treated like any other patient fighting for his or her life. Tonight’s defeat of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a setback for a just cause, but the pro-life movement will keep fighting until every human being is recognized and protected under the law.”
